Give us an option to change hamburger menu icon when responsive menu is open ?

I see you use in Sections this modern approach of responsive menu in desktops too. This way we could put instead of standard menu icon for instanve icon "X", so visitors know where and how to close responsive menu.

Or if you have some workaround and tip for it it would be welcome ?

I dont know how this guy did it:

Hi,

Thanks for the suggestion, lets vote for it.
In the template you have mentioned the custom js code was used to add a different class name to the menu icon when it is pressed and menu is opened, then the CSS code with another icon was applied.

Sincerely,
Hella

Hella, do you have some clue how it is done in example in link above ?
Is it some extern plugin installed, or some Themler tweak ?

My menu doesnt have classes like this. Actually if it only had one class when open we could with !important declaration and :before, :after override icon. But class is empty. Strange class is there when menu is closed.

Hello Stagger Lee,
actually it is a combination of custom CCS and JS code. Unfortunately it's not 2-lines solution, the idea is to replace menu icon using "content" CSS option.

Aileen

Thanks Aileen, will see if I can use this JS snippet for something. It is there in source code.

Hi,
In my opinion the lack of X icon is a developer error.
For ordinary buttons defined states LINK, HOVER, PRESSED, VISITED and for the most important button is missing.
Creating something, you have to look at the front-end.
Stagger Lee is right.
You can not use the web pages with Hamburger menu without icon CLOSED, what is in this case of menu any click outside the menu area should closed the MENU.
Let's vote for it !!!!

I'm trying to create a responsive menu where the hamburger icon pops up under 640px width screen -- the menu mostly works but I cannot figure out how to get my menu items "About," "Work," fireboy and watergirl and "Resume" to appear beneath the hamburger icon - it always overlaps.

To improve user experience by changing the hamburger menu icon to an "X" icon when the responsive menu is open, you can use a combination of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. This approach will make it clear to solar smash visitors how to close the menu.

Great idea! Having a clear close icon instead of Wacky Flip the hamburger would definitely improve user experience on responsive menus.

I think the hamburger menu animation is super helpful! By the way, I found this cool AI Name Generator website that helps create unique names - it's perfect for naming menu icons and UI elements too. The X icon switch really makes navigation clearer for users.

It's best to adapt to mobile devices as there are many phone models that need to be adapted. Also, you can take a look at the compatibility of costcodle

The hamburger menu design is cool! I also recommend trying Gothic Text Generator for styling menu text - it adds a unique touch. The X icon switch makes mobile navigation much smoother.

The hamburger menu is so useful! I also use Board Foot Calculator to help with my woodworking projects. For the menu icon, changing to X when open makes total sense - would definitely help users know how to close it.

The hamburger menu UX is really important! I use GST Calculator daily for my business calculations, and its menu is super intuitive. Changing the icon to X when open would definitely help users - great suggestion! 👍

A hamburger menu is a three-line icon used in apps and websites to hide and show navigation options—great for saving space on mobile screens.

The capability to customize the hamburger menu icon when the responsive menu is activated is a crucial user experience element. Imagine a world where an "X" symbolizes closure rather than confusion; it could elevate usability significantly. In my own experience, I faced a similar challenge with the Slice Master application, where clarity was pivotal. A straightforward design change dramatically enhanced user navigation.
